Via The Hoosier Review: Rap music star LL Cool J filled out a voter-registration form yesterday and announced he was backing Republican George E. Pataki for a third term as governor of New York against Democratic challenger H. Carl McCall.
The entertainer said Mr. Pataki had done "great things" for Queens, his home community, the Associated Press reports.
"It's not about parties; it's not about race; it's not about what's cool or not cool; it's about action and it's about people stepping up," he said.
